STENOTROPHOMONAS RHIZOPHILA

Class: Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus: Stenotrophomonas
Species: Stenotrophomonas rhizophila
Description: Straight or slightly curved rods.Colonies are yellowish;the colour is not due to carotenoid pigments or to xanthomonadins. Growth takes place at 4-37°C but not at 40°C.Resistant to many antibiotics,e.g. penicillin, tobramycin, imipenem, and ceftazidime,but susceptible to chloramphenicol,kanamycin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.Plant-associated bacterium with antifungal properties.
Synonyms:
Source: Strains were plant-associated and isolated from the rhizosphere of oilseed rape and from the the rhizosphere and geocaulsophere (tuber) of potato.
